Heather and Maddy would feel completely free to be silly together. Friday, they were happy, silly teenagers late night shopping for their scrapbooks - talking to some boy they knew- giggling - making up funny words to Justin Bieber's Never Say Never; they were screaming their own lyrics with the music blasting & belly laughing without a care in the world....Heather was Madeline's best friend, a true joy to have around our home. I feel blessed to have had her be part of our lives, she will be missed greatly.

I’ll never forget the night we all met and formed the ThunderDogs back in 2015. However, my favorite memory is probably when we went to Molitors. The whole night was filled with screams, laughing so hard we were crying, crying because some guy named Carter kept trying to scare us and his group, yelling “shut up Carter” with the rest of that group, yelling for the other person or my dad to go first, white knuckle hand holding, running into each other and walls, and then after that going to a really sketchy gas station.

Heather always was at our house. Always. And whenever Haley and her were out doing something, I'd always tag along. Looking back, I'm so glad I did. If I didn't, I wouldn't have had that second little sister in my life. My favorite “adventure” was when we all were at my mom's house in Princeton, and before we got there, my mom starts slowing down before a really rundown, broken house and says "alright, home sweet home". The look on Heath Bars face was priceless. Never a sad moment with that kid and I'm proud to call her family.
